Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

[CCheshire]

The one thing that really bugs me about these, gendered-clothing-wise, is the bike shorts under the male open-sided pants. It really looks like they either need to commit to the skimpy look or completely fill it in, not this awkward halfway-there length.

Yeah, I was also concerned when I saw the new glam promo pics if they were previewing the same set or not, but hope springs eternal.

The genuine mystery is why SE is scared of revealing men's thighs and legs that they gave him modest shorts but not for women

Square just seems to hate at this point briefs/speedos for men and outfits that reveal the chest/shoulders that aren’t just completely topless

Those bike shorts are so typical square enix for men

They need to conform to their gender stereotypes after all. Showing some skin on the upper thighs/hips of THE MALE? le gasp

Yeah if you look at the sets that are different for both genders, like the level 90 Dancer gear, they share a lot of details. Those two sets are completely different from each other. That doesn't mean they'll look the same on a male and female character of course, but I do think we're looking at two separate glams there.

The one on the male having the little undershirt just yells to me that it's meant to be worn by female characters, too, just with a lower cut to cover the chest.

One glam issue down! Yet some more remains.

Namely this genderlocking. Even worse when it's 1 item with 2 distinct looks, makes it much harder to get fixed...

I am begging them to un-genderlock the Makai stuff, it's been too long at this point.

They're just inconsistent with details that change between genders. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not, often with skimpy details.

The Prishe and the Mayakov outfits from the Alliance Raid are obviously female coded, but they didn't change anything when ported to male characters. So does the Galatea store outfit... But the Pictomancer's cropped top doesn't happen.

We just don't know what to expect.

Methinks it's down to the artist that puts these outfits together at this point. The only consistency is how inconsistent they are with gendered clothing.
